Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Cheers Tom. I just went through that, got to the last bit - I had to trash iTunes and reinstall it manually. Now it works.

My Mac isn't allowed to misbehave. Oh no. I've had it nearly a year and until that point it always Just Worked.

Then you send it to one of us and we try to get your data off of it.

or you can about $15-$20 on an adapter that will let you hook it up to your own computer and pull your data off, if the HDD is in working order. [link]

Hmm. Okay. I'll work on it. The Genius Bar hooked up one of the thingies you linked to. Very cool since I could not get it to start up any other way.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

ita, have you upgraded your AppleTV software to version 2 yet?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just did. Not sure how I feel about it. Flickr contacts, for instance, don't let me authenticate against Yahoo so I can't get to private photos.

And my network refuses to let my (wired) PC see any of the other devices on my network (wired or not), so I can't get from the Apple TV to it. I mistakenly tried to re-sync, so all the music and TV has gone.

That was a medium irritation with the TiVo. Much bigger here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes after I play a DVD (and then quit the DVD program) on my MacBook, I lose my Dock. My Dock is set to autohide and it just don't appear anymore. Changing Dock settings doesn't bring it back - I have to reboot.

I've seen this behavior for both 10.5.1 and 10.5.2

You can just kill the Dock process, and it will restart.

Using the Terminal? What is the process name?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What is the process name?

Dock

From the terminal you can type "killall Dock", or you can use the Activity Monitor.

Thunderbird question.

I was all prepared to love this program until I discovered a particular problem. There seems to be no Sent folder!

In settings, it says 'save to sent folder in local folders', but in search there IS no sent folder to be searched, nor does it appear in the sidebar.

I checked mozilla help and can't find anything about the folder disappearing or how to reinstate it.

Anybody have a clue I could use?
